Re: [diesel_mercedes] W123Oil Gauge

 

Nate,

Looking at my needle, it doesn't seem jittery, yet if there's something to help not break the new gauge, it might be helpful.

Who knows, maybe the leak has stopped the jittering. :)

Being sick, and having too many things to do, has slowed my search.

Thanks

Rob

I hate when my crippled/bent fingers touch the wrong key and a whole post *vanishes* just before I send it .

Milliken P-A-P has two W123's ~ a '79 Coupe with the gauges all there but scattered around the interior and an '81 240D that has the binnacle intact .

Both cars are N/A and have untouched injectors if you needs cores . one has very dirty fuel .

Good luck hunting Rob ! .

BTW : there's a little thing you're supposed to insert in the upper end of the oil pressure line that stops the jittering of the oil pressure gauge at hot idle ~ this is what causes the gauges to fail and begin leaking . it's an inexpen$ive part from Mercedes, let me know if your gauge jitters and I'll go hunt up the part # .
Let me know what turns .

Thanks Bill.

If no one on this group has an extra working Instrument cluster, the local Craigslist has a few folks parting out MBs, so I'll check there before going to eBay.
